So, I'd like to try it before buying the next game, but it looks like in order to try it (and see if it's worth shelling out the cash) you have to buy Left 4 Dead 2. Am I wrong?
Edit: Googling suggests you do indeed need to buy it. Classy.
With the first one pre orders got early access to the demo, but everyone got access to it eventually. I think this is the same.
Yep DP is correct, you can try demo now if you pre-order, but it will be released to public before the Nov 17th release.
IIRC the "free" demo is released publicly next week. That's when I'll get it. SteamID is funkmonkcalion if anyone wants to try it out.

I hope my ability to accidentally shoot my teammates in the head with a shotgun when I'm firing at zombies hasn't got rusty.

Accidentally? I start unloading whenever someone tries a vote kick against me, assuming I can't jump off a building.
Free access to the demo is available now, so I'm downloading as I type. TKing annoying 13-year olds will be a prime directive.

Ran into said annoying 13 year old. He proceeded to TK us and called us fags when he was votekicked. :lol:
Fun.
I am downloading as well.
Okay, I was ambivalent, but using the machete to become a divine wind is awesome.
I like using the cast iron frying pan.
Incidentally, does the game look really cartoonish to you guys?

A little more so than the first one, but it's dripping with atmosphere. If it were a zombie novel, it would be the Peyton Place of zombie novels. The prose is purple, for sure, but so entertaining.
I do not like the anonymized French Quarter shit and waterfront fakery.
I feel more sluggish in that game. It might be because I played the Fat guy. Also all my allies were idiots. WHY CANT I USE THE PISTOL?
It felt short, even for a demo. I like the daylight though.
Incidentally, there's a plugin you can download that lets you use the console to play as infected, though I can't get it to work.
Downloading. Now to get my deadbeat buddies to play.
Playing as infected.... mmm.
Having played the actual game, jesus christ. The new infected are a bitch, though it might also be that the maps are easier to get seperated in.
I reckon I'll buy it. Replace left 4 dead 1 with left 4 dead 2.
I'll probably snag this sometime after Thanksgiving.

How are the co-op campaigns compared to L4D?

Mmm. Not bad, but the gameplay seems astonishingly difficult. I feel like it's much more about intercepting the special ifnected before they get to you than rescuing players like you did in L4D.
It's also a bit annoying that one of the cmapaigns starts in the exact same manner as a L4D campaign, with your helicopter pilot being infected.

What the fuck kind of answer was that? Seriously? Peyton Place of zombie novels?

Me to, I'm Razgovory on there.
Ran through Dead Center on Normal. It was nice not knowing where the hell to go. The finale was a refreshing touch too.
Played through the swamp map with some annoying chatty teenagers. <_<

Got half-way through Dark Carnival when I quit because some dude kept on moaning about his wife being a bitch and his kid being a spaz. :lol:

I do too. I muted the mic in TF2 after maybe 5 minutes of Squeaky, the 13 year old trying to give orders.
I noticed Savannah doesn't look much like Savannah actually does. The City has a very distinct character to it. The only other time the city has been in a PC game was Panzger General II where I got to invade it! :menace:

:huh: Why did you mute the mic? Did Squeaky grow tired of your whining and order you to?

There was this magic box that turns off all the microphone shit. Try to keep up.

You're not muting their mics, doofus. They can still talk to each other.

I think this joke has run its course now.
Agreed. You are still my favorite Swede.
Yes.
Damning praise if I've ever heard it.
Is 2 player co-op available on the Xbox, and if so is it any good?
So id dis gem any good, yah?
